    So why did the left's Special Man, BO peep bow before him? Must be something in his DNA, huh?

    No.. Its ignorance of protocol. Same thing happened with Bush when he kissed king Abdullah on the mouth and held his hand. The protocol officer at the WH should be fired.

    I wasn't embarrassed by Obama bowing to the Saudi king. I didn't care about it. That embarrassed you?

    I never stopped holding my head high. Is your life so simple and/or sad that you needed a reality TV star to make you come out of the dumps?

    Were you embarrassed when Bush kissed King Abdullah in the mouth and held his hand? The protocol officer at the WH should be fired. Nobody bows to the king of Arabia or kisses him.

    Bush is a Neo Con/Democrat.....both he and BO peep must have that lil bitch gene in their DNA. Although it was a smart move by the Saud to not even greet the Peep at the airport. No sense and grandstanding a lil bitch.

    King Salman is very fragile in his old age. He was brought to the red carpet in a golf cart. He awarded Obama the same medallion and they also dined at the Murabba Palace. I wouldn't read too much into it.

    Yet the Saud King greeted Trump at the Airport. That which they did not do with BO peep. Optics.....says a whole lot.

    Like I said Salman is failing. Prince Bandar met Obama at the airport.

    I am particularly fond of King Salman and I see huge changes in his health. He is fragile and not too sharp.

    Like I said, Obama was only there one day and he was still honored, but the Saudis have been thru a very tense period re: Iran.. and that hasn't changed. They did realize that Obama was trying to prevent war with Iran.

    Don't think that the way Saudis dress means they aren't well informed, experienced in governance and diplomacy and damned shrewd.

    Both Israel and Saudi Arabia are happy to host Trump compared to Obama. They hope for actual action on the regions problems instead of catering to the regions biggest supporter of terrorism.

    Trump not showing respect to other people, not surprising. Then he states how great of a faith Islam is, and his daughter tells them how great Saudi Arabia is making strides for women's rights.

    A place where women are treated like garbage, they can't even drive. Oh, lets add how Trump bashed Michelle for not wearing headscarf and here she is not wearing one.

    THe guy is an absolute joke, just like his supporters

    Reports from Israel indicate a high level of apprehension over the Trump visit.

    Not according to NPR this morning. You are still relying on TDS propaganda. The far right wing may be apprehensive. Putting yourself on their side?

    Yet you still cannot change the fact that the Sadu King didn't greet BO peep at the airport like he did with Trump. You can make excuses tho. It still doesn't change that fact nor that visual perception to the world.

    Oh and note what the real news is saying about the visit. Not that made up alternate reality by the leftness.

    I just read a bit from Israeli newspapers. The far right in Israel are a problem IMO.

    Perhaps it's due to racism. Why don't we just put it out there and not dance around it. Saudi Arabia is one of those racist country where blacks are still serving in servant positions.

    Your numbers are wrong and you really don't understand how budget's work. The deficit is still projected to be over $400 Billion dollars this year because revenues are not expected to match spending. If revenue is greater than expenditure for a month, that does not mean the debt has decreased. There are still large expenses that have not come to term or have not been paid yet.

    You don't calculate the annual deficit in May...

    I don't know why you brought up the election. It doesn't have anything to do with this.

    Anything that supports Trump's POS Delusional Narrative the RW agrees with.

    Right now we're still laughing, and Trump is the one providing the ammunition. Eight more years of comedy; can't wait.

    Speaking of delusional. Have you gotten over the fact you were wrong about Trump not having a chance yet?
